I took quarter water, sold it in bottles for 2 bucks
Coca-Cola came and bought it for billions,
What the f*ck?
Have a baby by me, baby;
Be a millionaire,
I write the check before the baby comes,
Who the f*ck cares
I'm stanky rich,
I'ma die tryna spend this sh*t,
Southside's up in in this bitch
Yeah I smell like the vault, I used to sell dope
I did play the block, now I play on boats
In the south of France baby, St. Tropez,
Get a tan? I'm already black
Rich? I'm already that
Gangsta, get a gat, hit a head in a hat,
Call that a riddle rap
Sh*t, f*ck the chitter-chat
I'm the baker, I bake the bread
The barber, I cut ya head
The marksman, I spray the lead
I blood clot, chop ya leg!
Do not f*ck with the kid
I get biz wit the cig
I come where you live
Ya dead!

throwback.

Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is God
Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars, holdin' a mirror
Lookin' down a tier in jail, makin' weapons to kill ya
Weed smoke, three tokes nigga pour more Henny
He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many
Cold-blooded murderers, universal
Hood to hood, blowin' smoke, state of mind is purple.

^Lost Tapes is such an amazing album!

Psychedub Dude 02-09-2013 09:00 AM

Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads
and start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole
I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes
In the tradition of these legendary sports pros
As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold
Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime
And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
Shine bright as an example of a champion
Taking the advantage, never copping out or cancelling
Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it
Maverick, always above and beyond average
Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with
Something in my eyes say I'm so close to having the prize
I realise I'm supposed to reach for the skies
Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise

"99 Problems" - Jay-Z

The cleverly constructed lyrics below show the frustration of racial profiling so well!

This rap song impressed me as soon as I heard it because the song makes me imagine clearly how it feels to be seen as guilty until proven innocent. The song gives me just what I like: meaningful lyrics with a compelling storyline and an "I'm not going to take your crap" attitude.

Of course the irony is that the song lyrics may have been based on a true story in which there really *were* drugs in the car! So, the police officer's suspicions were justified. However, civil rights are civil rights and they apply to everyone.

From Wikipedia: "Jay-Z wrote that in 1994 he was pulled over by police while carrying cocaine in a secret compartment in his sunroof. Jay-Z refused to let the police search the car and the police called for the drug sniffing dogs. However, the dogs never showed up and the police had to let Jay-Z go. Moments after he drove away, he wrote that he saw a police car with the dogs drive by."

Apparently, the "bitch" in the song refers to the police dog :): "The chorus 'If you're having girl problems, I feel bad for you son/I've got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one' was defined in Jay-Z's book, Decoded, as referring to a police dog." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Problems

* * * * *

The year is ninety-four, in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother****in' law
Got two choices y'all, pull over the car or
Bounce on the Devil, put the pedal to the floor

And I ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
So I pull over to the side of the road
Son do you know why I'm stoppin' you for?

'Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's real low
Or do I look like a mind reader sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo'?
Well you was doin fifty-five in the fifty-four
(<-- This line especially shows the injustice of the situation. A great line!)

License and registration and step out of the car
Are you carryin' a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are
I ain't steppin' out of ****, all my papers legit
Well do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?

Well my glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back
And I know my rights, so you gon' need a warrant for that
(<-- Oooo! Defending his rights! I like that.)
Aren't you sharp as a tack, you should try out
For lawyer or somethin', somebody important or somethin'

Child I ain't passed the bar, but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my ****
(<-- Knowledge IS power. This is another great line in the song.)
Well we'll see how smart you are when the canine comes
I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one

And we can do what u really want

And if he ain't gon treat u right
Then I ain't gon treat u wrong
That's my word
And she heard so many lies
She don't kno what's true or not
Shawty like a valley service I swear she been through alot
But I but her car in park and never let her cry alone
I listened to her heart beat because it plays my favorite song

And for the wild, my style, is monumental

Black Thoughts Verse in "Tip The Scale"

Yo, I’m always early
I never take off cause I got a job
Rob Peter to pay Paul
Now I realize it’s the winner that takes all
Do what I gotta do because I can’t take loss
Picture me living life as if I’m some animal
That consumes its own dreams like I’m a cannibal
I won’t accept failure unless it’s mechanical
But still the alcohol mixed with the botanical
I guess I be referred to the owners manual full of loaners
Full of all the homeless throwaways and the stoners
Soldiers of the streets with 8th grade diplomas
And the world awaiting their shoulders as a bonus
Look, let he without sin live without sin
Until then, I’ll be doing dirty jobs like swamp men
Counting the faces of those that might have been
It’s like living that life but I won’t live that life again

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself
Am I really scared of passing away
If it's today I hope I hear a
Cry out from heaven so loud it can water down a demon
With the holy ghost till it drown in the blood of Jesus
I wrote some raps that make sure that my lifeline
Rake in the cent of a reaper, ensuring that my allegiance
With the other side may come soon
And if I'm doomed, may the wound
Help me mother be blessed for many moons
I suffer a lot
And every day the glass mirror get tougher to watch
I tie my stomach in knots
And I'm sure not why I'm infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about
Cause the tongue is mighty powerful
And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
Maybe cause I'm dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death
Really stuck in the scheme of, wondering whem I'mma rest
And you're right, your brother was a brother to me
And your sister's situation was the one that put me
In a direction to speak of something that's realer than the TV screen
By any means, wasn't trying to offend or come between
Her personal life, I was like "it need to be told
Cursing the life of 20 generations after her" so
Exactly would have happened if I hadn't continued rappin
Or steady being distracted by money drugs and four
Fives, I count lives all on these songs
Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong
Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong
And hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone
Now am I worth it?
Did I put enough work in?

This one always made me believe I can make it!
/Lupe Fiasco - Hip-Hop Saved My Life/


He said, “I write what I see
Write to make it right, don't like where I be”
I'd like to make it light the sights on TV
Quite the great life, so nice and easy

See, now you can still die from that
But it's better than not being alive from straps
Agree, a Mead notebook and a bic that click
When it's pushed in a whack ass beat

That's a track that's weak, that he got last week
'Cause everybody in the store's like that's that heat
A bass heavy medley, with a sample from the 70's
With a screwed up hook that went, 'Stack That Cheese'

Somethin', somethin', somethin', 'Stack That Cheese'
Mother, sister, cousin, 'Stack That Cheese'
He couldn't think of nothin', 'Stack That Cheese'
He turns down the beat, writer's block impedes

Cryin' from the next room, a baby in need
Of some Pampers and some food and place to sleep
That, plus a black Cadillac on D's
Is what keep 'em on track to be a great Emcee, yea

Electrophonic Tonic 02-27-2013 01:01 PM

Easily one of my all time favorite rap songs. Amazing beat and very, very good lyrics. I know it's pick a verse... but I can't!

T-Electronique- Faust vs Dalek

Spoiler for T-Electronique:


They walk a path that's not mine, never was or ever will be.
Fulfilling prophecies hobble knees of MC's
Set to breath the rich air of mediocrity
And so ironically you seek to whisper from the poison lips of Socrates
I watch with these sad and tired eyes
If I were blind perhaps then I'd know of sunsets.
As it stands I hate myself more than public.
Prose and poetry set to drown in murky sonnets
Crucify the honest least they beg to play the minstrel
Divide by 5th harmonic Just to keep it simple
Basics of my breath only known to my people
Speak in paradox seems to sullen minds of feeble
Retrieve the core text and proceed to feast with equals
Your church steeples only set more eyes on Ra
Confusion on your face when I call my brothers god
Grasp open fist with right Met with a solemn nod
First signs of rain i plant these seeds in fertile soil
Anoint scarred wrists with remnants of ancient oils.


And since then I felt more than never
Placed brittle faith on filthy tongue slowly severed by words
Left interred as exposed souls erode
though I'm told to expect that fate
Human has no fate
(With Fist that knows pain)


Await with rusted blade to split this right wrist
Fractured lip spits blind truth into life's abyss.
Lifted spirits only crash to concrete
Greet enemies with pounds
Brethren with horrid sounds
Resonating what we wrote
You foster false hope
To those who tie noose with stale rope
Broke stride with strong neck
In last attempts to gain respect
Melanin the constant threat
Yet we easily forget
Where we are, what we are
Are by far foreign concepts
Somewhere between the seeds of Gods and Monsters
Quite a thought to ponder
Ancient treasures squandered by greed that bleeds from all veins
Humanity maintains false histories to breath
Breed lies in ink to infect truth written
Given live makes ironic alter
Tarnished martyr polished words only to be blurred
When I once tried to watch
And irony is lost
True knowledge only comes at too high a cost


And since then I felt more than never
Placed brittle faith on filthy tongue slowly severed by words
Left interred as exposed souls erode
though I'm told to expect that fate
Human has no fate

How 'bout some Cage?

Verse 3 from "Among the Sleep"

I open up my eyes to get cracked in the face
Six times, while I'm asked for combos to a safe
My wife on the couch, dying, raped, in shock
While the gunmen argue on where to take the yacht
Assuming I'm rich
Playboy bitch
My own boat
And if I don't start speaking I'mma lose my throat
They start chumming the water with my dead ho and laugh
Force me to see great whites snapped on the lower half
Locked off my arm, do it in, no guns to shoot
Think of 3 past deaths and find an escape route
All I have to do is wake up, lift the mast
And get shot off the boat and my back to get whipped in half
I wake up screamin'
With a shotgun in church, feenin'
To kill myself, but I don't know if I'm still dreamin'
50-50 chance I'mma die and go straight up
Or straight to hell, either ****in' way I'mma wake up!

Aesop Rock - Battery

Yo change the fuckin channel
I burn a Coma candle
When the flame fades, consider my flatline a soldier's sample
We them cats talkin noise behind that New York trash heap
Where the stench of commuter briefcase replaces a bad sleep
And it's, worker zig-zagers versus piggy badge flashers
Training Generation Fallout
Waterfall bricklayer pincushion crawl out
There's smoke in my iris
But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids
So I'm ready now (What you ready for?)
I'm ready for life in this city
And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me
I'm a dinosaur with Jones Beach in my hourglass
Passing the time with serial killer coloringbooks and bags of marbles
Don't tell me you ain't the droid that held the match to the charcoals
Don't tell me Lucifer and God don't carpool
(This is our school)
I'm not trying to graduate to life at the curse on the lounge barstool
Head in a jar on the desk, feet dangling in a shark pool
(Man please) Man please
My name stands for my being
And my being stands for the woman who stood
And braved the storm could raise this evening
(Brother, sun, sister, moon, mother beautiful)
Yeah middle sibling suitable but far from son of excellence
Back in a long time ago, I was to way the wishes wish
But missers miss, I slept through my appointment
Saw the liquid dreams of a thousand babies solidify
And picked the rose and wielded
The second I introduced myself as Nervous
Well it appears the scars of learning have spoken
Some are burning, some have rosen
Some deserve tall tales, some have wrote them
Some are just a brutal repercussion of devotion
Mine are all of the above cuz everything leads to erosion
Now where I live there's a homeless man
He sits upon a crate
He makes a rusty trumpet sound like the music that angels make
Now if you ever come and visit me, I suggest you watch the show
Tell him Aesop Rock sent ya just to hear his horn blow like this

Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve
I love doin' right but I was trapped in Hell
Had mad ideas, sad eyes N' tears
Years of fear, but yo my foes couldn't bear
I searched for the truth since my youth
N' went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
That I was payin', plus the prayin'
I didn't like stayin' cuz of bizzie-bodies
N' dizzy-hotties
That the preach-ass souped up with lies
Had couped up, lookin' at loot, butt N' thighs
During the service, he swallowed up the poor
N' after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
But I ignored, N' explored my history that was untold
N' watched mysteries unfold
N' dropped the jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
Cuz if you do your brain is more hollow then
Space oblivia, or the abyss
With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
Does it pay to be deaf, dumb, or blind
From a slave he was kept from the mind
N' from a caves he crept from behind
N' what he gave was the sect of the swine
When the bible, that condemned the pig
I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs
But we used to wear a turban, but now were in the urban
No more wearin' beanies or dress like the genie
No hocus pocus cuz I focus on the facts
N' put it on the track or brought it through the wax
I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
N' too much knowledge, it might break up the ryhme
I did it anyway, just to wake up the mind
Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
Those who sit at home, or sell books by the market
Need to chill N' get their mind revived
For years, religion did nothing but divide

And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back... eminem- when im gone

Mos Def: Speed Law

Clear like a megaphone
Pretty nigga heart skipped the metronome
Rocked the Trump Tower to the terrordome
Poor house to pleasure domes
Soprano, alto, tenor to baritone
MOS DEF one of the illest that you ever known
Rock steady baby, you a stepping stone
Smash your foundation into pebbles
My words leave your nerves unsettled
You take it to the next level down
Looking like a circus clown
Cats like you can't even get a pound
Worldwide from the river to lakeside
My stage show stay live, make the sound man stage dive
I cut fat cats to eight lives with my eight ball lines
I'm home 'fore I'm done with all nine
Got you shook like a fault line
Come all shine and get tarnished
Brooklyn got your pay roll garnished
They form a huddle
Whisper like they want trouble
I melt the ice grills into rainwater puddles
Make the proud-hearted leave on the humble
Black steel in the hour
Assemble my skill form my power
My poems crush bones into powder
You mumble like a coward
I'm Mos Def, you need to speak louder
SUPER HEREOS!
Get your power, your masks and capes snatched
Brooklyn take what you can't take back
I know a lot of cats hate that
All I can say black
There's a city full of walls you can post complaints at
All the doubters and believers adjust your receivers
"I feel it," you can taste it through the speakers
The three six oh-riginal sketch lyrics so visual
They rent my rhyme books at your nearest home video

Raekwons verse on "Rainy Dayz"

...time to get the feeling, word up
What brings rain hail snow and earthquakes
The beat breaks, cause all my niggaz to break son
Styles is similar to criminals locked up
With gats, ghetto tabernacles is ****ed up
I live once though, the mind stays infinite
Travel in the church, nine planets, in my midst
While I carry, to earn a decent salary
Soon get married, raise a family, but the plan'll be
real great, to sit up in the loft, count stacks and max
And real cats cold watch my back
But listen to the Wu soon, and maintain
It's all real, starvin individuals kill
I puff what's only right, leave the poison alone
Projects, infested with rats cats and crack homes
Half of us'll try to make it, the other half'll try to take it
So many fake half real freedom-ville
Born to science my alliance analyzes
Wild surprises, keepin my eyes wide to this
The unfortunate, layin in mountains countin
With jewelry on, can it be the next team house the horn
Chill Dunn, just for real ones, light the lye up
I hate to have to tie the next guy up
Pay attention to Tims ten wins, Wu blends
Now I'm starin you, the true buckle up
Now who's a legend?

Denzel Curry (Raider Klan (Spaceghostpurrp)) on "Threatz":

Slide for the free, kill for the fee
Pull out the stick then I pull out the ski
Put a mother****er face on a white tee
That's what a nigga get being P.I.E.
Sweet, nigga you D.I.E.
Sleep, mother****er that's six feet
Deep, no tender, no love, no care
But a nigga here still gon' creep
T.L.C. put it to ya Lisa Lo' that's a nigga left
Eye, kill a nigga, get ghost, death
Patrick Swayze, come equipped with a vest
I'mma point that **** to your mother****ing neck
K's all in my trunk
So you best to get a chopper
It's nothing but goon action
I ain't talking Waka Flocka
That 2.7.5. goons
Bought to do a ****ing Gank
Bumping Waka Flocka Flame
In a underwater tank
Cause nigga die right now
Bullet or a ****ing shank
Niggas always tryna' be
The hardest in the ****ing paint

"underwater tank" is a reference to Lil Ugly Mane, who once said:

Aye yo, I saw my man the other day he say he need a handout
Said he had some _ and some _ but it ran out
His partner had a number, but connections didn't pan out
And every road he dialed was looking like the same route
Told him he could blame it on the cocaine drought
Since the boys got arraigned and all the names came out
Now I don't know nobody dealing, sitting on the steps by the library building
____ and I asked about his children,
Told me he ain't seen 'em since they momma tried to kill him
Laughed and told the homie I forgot about that ****
She caught you in the crib rollin off in a fat bitch
Tried to pull the heater but you hid under the mattress
And jumped out the window butt naked, it was classic.
I paused cuz the homie wasn't laughing with me
So I tried to switch the topic up causally
He exhaled smoke and threw his hat in the street
Said, "playa I don't understand what happened to me
Remember how I used to live extravagantly? white Jay’s, scuff-free, with immaculate steez?
White Jays, scuffed 3s, with immaculate ease
Stacked Gs, cop keys like they was practically free
Now I'm scrambling these streets with this raggedy tee"
I was puzzled by his feelings of inadequacy
Then I saw the track mark when he pulled back on his sleeve
Yea, my homie got a habbit it seems
Sad, cuz I kinda wanna dap him and leave
But I been down the some road so I put it on front street
Then he stepped back like he wanted to punch me
Told him, sit down, it's been a minute since we hung out
Apologized for bringing out the fact that he was strung out
Caught me off guard, and I know that lifes hard,
But I really hate to see the homie in the graveyard
Cuz all I wanna do is see my people live large,
I always try to see my people better than they are

He told me he would he would clean up, said it was a promise
Looked me in my eyes to imply that he was honest
But I know that I would lie too, back when I was on it
So even though I nodded I was feeling broken hearted
He the homie though, regardless, so I know I gotta trust him
Told him I won't bring it up in any more discussions
Then I hit him with some ones, probably bout a dozen
He told me he was staying with his auntie and his cousin
But I saw the bitch later and she told me that wasn't
Told me if she saw him she would snitch him to the government
Said he on some foul ****, she ain't even love him
I was bugging, I know he on the needle how she talking hopeless
Told me that he was evil, he didn't have emotions
Said they found his babies with their throats slit, and he the culprit
I'm like, oh ****, step back, how she go against blood like that?
That's the homie from the way back,
Looking at the stars like, "what they **** could make you say that?
Naw love, I can't even play that."
It's hard to light a smoke when you trying to breathe,
Cuz deep down I know she ain't lying to me
Cuz deep down I know she ain't lying to me…

That's from )))____◎◎◎◎█████ (Uneven Compromise), also known as "Corrupted By Darkness You Fall Into An Endless Sleep" or something apx.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
when all is one and one is all
to be a rock and not to roll

Stairway to Heaven. Obviously.

Inspectah Deck on Wu-Tang - Triumph

“I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
And hypothesis can’t define how I be droppin these
mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
I inspect you, through the future see millenium
Killa B’s sold fifty gold sixty platinum
Shacklin the masses with drastic rap tactics
Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Black Wu jackets queen B’s ease the guns in
Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function
Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Chicks hit the floor, diehard fans demand more
Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Proceeds to blow swingin swords like Shinobi
Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock
Wu got it locked, performin live on your hottest block”

Nas - The World Is Yours (Verse 1)

I sip the Dom P, watchin Gandhi til I'm charged
Then writin in my book of rhymes, all the words pass the margin
To hold the mic I'm throbbin, mechanical movement
Understandable smooth **** that murderers move with
The thief's theme, play me at night, they won't act right
The fiend of hip-hop has got me stuck like a crack pipe
The mind activation, react like I'm facin time like
'Pappy' Mason with pens I'm embracin
Wipe the sweat off my dome, spit the phlegm on the streets
Suede Timb's on my feets, makes my cypher, complete
Whether crusin in a Sikh's cab, or Montero Jeep
I can't call it, the beats make me fallin asleep
I keep fallin, but never fallin six feet deep
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?)
I'm out for dead presidents to represent me

Look, for contrast here's a pair a lips,
Swallowing sarapin, setting fire to sheriff whips,
(Whoops whoops) ****ing all American terrorist,
Crushing rapper larynx to feed em a ****ing carrot stick,
And me? I just spent a year ferrisin,
And lost a little sanity to show you what hysterics is
Spit till the lips meet the bottom of the barrel,
So that sterile piss flow remind these niggas where embarrassed is,
Narrow tight line might impair him since,
I made it back to Fahrenheit,
Grimey get De Niro type,
Feral ****ing ill apparel wearing pack a parasites,
Threw his own youth off the roof after paradise,
Ladidadi back in here to **** the party up, R
aiding fridges, tipping over vases with a tommy gun
Never dollars, poppa

Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.

-------------------

I still recall the taste of your tears
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep
Anymore

You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And i'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make this all go way
I just want something
I just want something I can never have

Billy Woods's second verse on Armand Hammer's song "Hatchet Job"

"Staged shooting/Praise God they missed me
unsolved mysteries/started from the upper middle
closed the gap quickly
sold soul to the devil replete with hidden fees
you fucking with a gypsy
white man handshake/twinkle in eye
you caught a bad break
two half-truths but not one lie
The new guy got my spidey sense in overdrive
Dog, in the grand scheme I was just a cog
Lawyer said forget about getting off
it’s about damage control/ so hot he stop drop & roll
yet the pack was sold before he copped
King of All Blacks/the new Pac"
